Priory-rectory dependent on the abbey of Saint-Satur. The church was rebuilt from the end of the 15th century, starting with the tower forming a bell tower-porch, which can be attributed to a certain Hélias Ruellé, while the coat of arms appearing on the keystones of the nave vault indicate the participation of Guillaume de Ménipeny, abbot of Saint-Satur attested until 1527. The date of 1533 is shown on a keystone. The renovation of the church was probably completed around 1535. The first church was built in the 13th century, of which some remains and perhaps the bell tower-porch remain. The current construction dates mainly from the 16th century and represents one of the rare Renaissance religious buildings in this department. The renovation of the choir and the chevet (capitals) and the construction of the sacristy date from the 19th century. Keystone dated 1533 with the Rochechouart coat of arms.

15th century church renovated in the 19th century. This 19th century restoration consisted of the addition of two chapels to the north and south, which thus form two side aisles. The western bay and the bell tower also date from this restoration.

The Saint-Aignan church in Veaugues is a Catholic church located in the Cher department, in the Centre-Val de Loire region. It is dedicated to Saint Aignan, bishop of Orléans in the 5th century. The current church was built in the 19th century, on the ruins of an old 12th century church. It was designed by the architect Leclère, in a neo-Gothic style. The Saint-Aignan church is a masterpiece of neo-Gothic architecture. It is built in cut stone, and has an imposing façade with two twin towers. The interior of the church is also remarkable, with its Gothic vaults, stained glass windows and sculptures. The Saint-Aignan church is unique in its kind by the presence of a tribune organ from 1889, built by the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll factory. This organ is considered one of the most beautiful in Europe

magnificent little church, inside which are remains of medieval frescoes as well as furniture from the Sainte Chapelle de Bourges. Remarkable elements also present on the beams. if the church is closed, go and ask for the keys from Mr Turpin, winemaker on the church square.

If you are a ceramist or an enlightened pottery lover, La Borne will surely mean something to you. Indeed, this village is a mecca for ceramic creation in France and internationally. La Borne being close to a large sandstone deposit, there are traces of this activity since the 12th century and it has continued to develop over time. In the 15th century, potters acquired mastery of cooking local clay. In the 17th century, the creation of the town of Henrichemont increased demand and concentrated the workshops in the hamlet, halfway between the quarries and the town. Then in the 19th century, at its peak, 21 workshops operated there. Unlike many pottery villages, La Borne has been able to resist the new materials of the 20th century with the revival of pottery in the form of art. Today, nearly 80 craftsmen and artists of twelve different nationalities work in the surrounding area and there are two museums in the village. In the former Saint-Jean-Baptiste chapel, the Pottery Museum was created with a rather traditional and historical approach and in which we find works by renowned potters such as the Talbot family, Vassil Ivanoff and Jean Linard. Then you will find the La Borne Contemporary Ceramic Center which has occupied the village's former girls' school since 1971 as well as a glass gallery more than 600 meters long inaugurated in 2010. Every year around October you can participate in the Grands Feux, an event allowing you to discover how the hamlet's wood-fired ovens work.
